7 SIMPLE STEPS TO JOB SEEKING SUCCESS!!...By Darren Saul

If you are a JOB SEEKER today then I'll bet you are probably doing what everyone else is doing and it's NOT WORKING!!

It's NOT ENOUGH to just "put a resume together", send it to a job-board and wait for the response that never comes.

It’s a NEW WORLD with NEW RULES and it requires a NEW APPROACH - a HOLISTICapproach!

HERE'S HOW:

STEP 1: Take an HONEST look at your motivation. Do you get up every morning with a burning desire to go out into the world and excel in what you do? Or do you hit the snooze button repeatedly and finally drag yourself out of bed? If the latter rings true then maybe it's time for a change! We all know that when we are passionate about something time seems to fly, the task consumes us and we don’t feel like we have spent even one minute “working”. We enjoy every moment of what we are doing and very little can distract us from achieving our goal. Now you might argue that just being passionate about something doesn’t always mean that you are any good at it. This may be true, however I have generally noticed that people that "live and breath" what they love to do are usually very good at it!

STEP 2: Make certain that your personal brand (ie. reputation) is 100% first class. That applies to how you act towards others and how you are perceived by others – both in the real physical world and in the virtual world – social media sites, internet etc. Remember that when you walk through a door your reputation has already preceded you!

STEP 3: Make sure you have a resume that sells you properly (in terms of what you want to achieve) and that you know how to use it. It’s not enough to just email it around and wait. You have to be proactive, you have to open the doors for yourself just like a salesperson opens doors for his product. This time the product is YOU.

STEP 4: Network like crazy for opportunities. Ask EVERYONE you know (both in the real and virtual world) if they know of any suitable opportunities.

STEP 5: Prepare EXTENSIVELY for any interviews – enough said.

STEP 6: Be conscious of what engages people and what puts them to sleep! What you say, how you say it and how your body language reflects it - language, humour, creativity, verbal tone, body talk.

STEP 7: Put on a positive attitude every day. It’s just like make up – it requires effort and takes practice!

AND HAVE FUN!
